What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after obtaining possession of the site for the Aira Fitness Business, a franchisee must prepare and submit basic plans and specifications for approval. These plans and specifications must align with Aira Fitness's general design and layout requirements, as detailed in the manuals.
In addition to submitting plans, the franchisee is obligated to purchase or lease only the equipment, fixtures, furniture, and signs that Aira Fitness has approved. The franchisee must then install these items and decorate the Aira Fitness Business in full compliance with the approved plans and specifications, as well as all applicable ordinances, building codes, and permit requirements. Unauthorized alterations are not permitted.
The franchisee is also responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, and architectural seals, ensuring compliance with all applicable legal requirements related to the building, signs, equipment, and premises, including the Americans With Disabilities Act. Furthermore, the franchisee must obtain and maintain all required zoning changes, building, utility, and sign permits and licenses, along with any other necessary permits and licenses.
These requirements ensure that each Aira Fitness location adheres to the brand's standards and complies with all legal obligations, maintaining consistency and quality across all franchise locations. It is the franchisee's responsibility to meet all these conditions, and any changes to the plans or alterations to the premises after the initial approval require Aira Fitness's prior written consent.
